Career

In February 1996 Loren met actor John Travolta while working as a stand-in on the set of Face/Off. Loren put his music on hold to work with Travolta. In 1997, Loren had a small role in the movie The General's Daughter. In late 2007 Loren decided to go back to music, launching his debut solo album titled Forever Be Cool in June 2008. The release party was hosted by television personality Mark Steines of Entertainment Tonight and attended by Travolta, Nikki Blonsky, Luis Guzmán, Chubby Checker, and director Tony Scott. His album reached number 6 on the Top 40 AC chart in January 2009.

While filming From Paris with Love^[1] in Paris, France in December 2008, Loren suffered a severe broken ankle after a stunt went wrong and he fell three stories out of a window.

The DVD has been featured in O Magazine, on Dateline NBC's Pet Nation, Entertainment Tonight and The Insider.^{[citation needed]} Along with producing, Loren has gone on to become a television personality for the magazine style talk show First Coast Living.^[6] Nick was nominated for a Suncoast Emmy for his hosting on First Coast Living in 2011.
